According to the American Society for Apheresis A procedure in which blood of the patient or donor is passed through a medical device which separates one or more components of blood and returns the remainder with or without extracorporeal treatment or replacement of the separated component. 5 Schwartz, et al.

Tormey, MD Associate Professor of Laboratory Medicine Yale University School of Medicine VA Connecticut Healthcare System October, 2018 Talk Outline Discussion of the various types of anticoagulation, their mechanism of action, basic lab monitoring, and half-lives Also discuss ‘safe’ hold periods prior to central line placement for non-urgent procedures Review of how apheresis-related care (particularly plasma exchange) is impacted by these various forms of anticoagulation from the BB perspective Removal + considerations for replacement fluids Anticoagulants: Overview on Mechanism of Action Anticoagulants, which exploit the mechanisms of normal hemostasis, come in essentially one of four varieties: Agents to induce factor depletion Focus on For example, warfarin these classes for Agents that inhibit coagulation factor activity today’s talk For example, heparin Agents that inhibit PLT function For example, aspirin Clot ‘busters’ For example, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) Yale-VA CT IR BB Guideline FACTOR DEPLETION Warfarin Anticoagulation Following the ingestion of warfarin, a vitamin K antagonist (VKA), all vitamin K dependent factors will begin to decrease fVII = most sensitive to warfarin therapy because of it’s very short in vivo half-life (4-6 hours) Anticoagulant effect may not be seen until several doses (or until many hours after dosing) Since fVII is very sensitive to warfarin, we use the PT to gauge efficacy of therapy Goal PT = 1.5-2x upper limit of normal for most hypercoagulable or treated patients Equates to INRs of
